What the fuck is wrong with you people? We're talking about an adult male wearing a batsuit that's fighting a clown (among other things) and you're sitting here nitpicking about trivial inconsistencies when the whole basic idea is utterly ridiculous to begin with.

I saw Kermode on the telly saying just the same thing about TDKR, because a news guy thought it odd that 'Batman' was dancing.

Was quite enjoying it as a subdued but brutal hitman flick, then it goes all Wickerman out of nowhere and completely lost me.

WTF?!/10

..or just TOTAL-SHIT!/10

This film divides many. It's either 1/10 or 10/10
I'm bitter as I paid the full wack for the Blu-ray thinking I was in for a treat. Instead all I was left with was disappointment. I couldn't wait to get shot of the disc, and Cex offered little, but little was better than nothing.

Great cast, some great dialogue and well acted. A film within a film, clever, funny - it almost has it all. Except it never really got going. It teetered on the edge of rollicking awesomeness then went dull again. Its not as good as In Bruges. It seems to know its own limits and rather than break them, it conforms.
Very hard to review. Enjoyable enough with a meh ganache

Catwoman was by far and away the best thing in TDKR.

I agree.

And I thought Gyllenhaal was worse than Holmes in every respect, which is odd as she's a cut above as an actor. It think it was because she was trying to do a Holmes impression and it just all came off wrong. Plus she's far less fit, so all in all a bad replacement.

Pretty much pointless in terms of the plot and totally jarring with the whole gritty real thing, but she was charismatic and had screen presence. She was the closest thing to Ledger in terms of being enjoyable to watch.

You can probably thank the producers for the Maggie/Katie headswap. They almost certainly saw her as box office poison and decided to get rid.

Holmes turned the sequel down or Tom did it for her. I know the pair made a circus at the premier. Sure I read the studio and Nolan wanted her back anyway. She wasnt bad either. Maybe find a link later.
